Edens Rose Foundation is a small nonprofit with limited administrative staff and resources. During the 2023 tax year, our team experienced significant transitions, including staff turnover and the illness of a key volunteer responsible for preparing and submitting compliance documents. In addition, our focus was on sustaining critical community programs-such as food distribution, housing rehabilitation, and youth mentorship-while navigating capacity challenges. As soon as the oversight was identified, we took immediate corrective actions to complete and submit the return, and we have implemented stronger internal procedures to ensure timely filings moving forward. These steps include securing additional administrative support, calendar reminders, and oversight from our Board Treasurer. The delay was unintentional, and the organization acted in good faith to remain compliant. We respectfully request that penalties be waived in light of these circumstances.
